3Don't be the best in town. Just try to be the best until the best come around.

4It's kind of hard to keep going sometimes but you just have to believe
in what you are and what you can do and that's the way to success.

5I've never missed a gig yet. Music makes people happy, and that's why I go on doing it - I like to see everybody smile.

6When I went to Chicago, I'll put it like this: I was looking for a dime and I found a quarter.

7Once I was checking to hotel and a couple saw my ring with Blues on it.
They said, 'You play blues. That music is so sad.' I gave them tickets
to the show, and they came up afterwards and said, 'You didn't play one
sad song.'

8I'm gonna play something so funky you can smell it

This just made me smile so much. Can imagine Buddy's smile too, knowing he meant it. - Britgirl

9If you don't think you've got the blues, just keep living, and if you
don't think you're drunk, just keep drinking what you're drinking.

10So here I am - a 75-year-old man sitting on a bar stool in a blues club,
trying to figure out exactly how I got here. Any way you look at it,
it's a helluva story.

Would have loved to at some point sat with him and happily spent hours listening to him tell that story. - Britgirl
